Winterlake Lodge

Winterlake Lodge is located 318 miles north-west of Anchorage along Alaska’s historic Iditarod Trail. The lodge stands in 15 acres overlooking Winter Lake, a finger-shaped two mile lake where landings are by floatplane in the summer and ski-plane in the winter. Winterlake Lodge offers seclusion and spectacular scenery - views of the Trimble Glacier and the beginnings of the Rainy Pass are visible from the lake.

The main lodge offers a comfortable main room for relaxing by the fire and viewing the lake from large picture windows. There is a cozy dining area and large kitchen for the preparation of the lodge’s signature gourmet cuisine. Facilities also include a large meditation yoga room, hot tub on the main deck, and a wood- burning sauna. These are the sites of a wellness program that includes massage therapy. The rooms are in individual cabins located around the main lodge.

Winterlake Lodge is owned by renowned chef, Kirsten Dixon who offers world-class culinary classes at the lodge with visiting chefs and specialized culinary programs throughout the year. Gourmet meals are served from a daily menu (changed every day and posted in the main lodge). In keeping with tradition, Alaska regional cuisine is featured. Guests are welcome to come into the kitchen at any time and help cook! Special dishes may be made on request. The lodge also offers frequent lakeside barbecues of Alaska salmon and King crab.
